I just don't feel at home unless I can use PekWM. I prefer it's lightness and configuratons to Openbox; etc.
I was thinking about doing a little remodeling but I don't know how to add or remove WMs from the SwitchWM app.
Edit: There is actually a new version of PekWM coming out. I might compile it.
How Do I Add PekWM to SwitchWM Menu?
Hey Gnuxo.
I downloaded Aragon's build of PekWM from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=63103
It's quite nice WM indeed; I've never tried it before...
Anyway, by "SwitchWM" you mean "WM Swicher" app under Desktop submenu, right?
If so, I have modified wmswitcher script for PekWM and it seems to work fine in my Lupu so far.
Replace (or better backup first) the original wmswitcher script in /usr/sbin with the attached one (remove fake .gz extension).
Then modify hidden /root/.config/bgchoice file, by adding, for instance:
right before this line:
It's necessary only if you'd like to have individual background for each WM.
Also, you can download (and perhaps crop/resize, because it's a bit too big) PekWM logo from their site: http://pekwm.org/ and save it as pekwm_logo.png in /usr/share/pixmaps.
That's all and I hope it helps.
Greetings!
